Hand-pulled pint at the Snuggery Tap on 23rd September 2021. Golden pour, good white head with lacing. Glad I caught it this time around, not been brewed for a while (I believe), certainly not been seen in and around my patch anyway. Light citrus aroma and taste on a decent malty base, easy drinking and 'moorish'.

Cask-conditioned at the Plough Worcester 19/9/2021. Golden in colour, with a decent, white, head. Leafy hops, light, biscuity malts, tangerine fruits and lingering, bitter, finish with a vaguely jammy edge. Enjoyable.

Fair to say not their finest offering, but still a decent enough golden ale quaffer. Lovely looking gold with a frothy white head and a light citrusy malt aroma. Approaching-creamy mouthfeel, it's fruity and bitter in equal measure

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. Golden with a creamy head. It's a crisp ale with a bland fruity-hoppiness, although it does have a better stated fruitiness in its nose.

Cask at the Tea Merchant, 13/02/18. clear golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is melon, straw, orange wine gums, floral notes, grass. Taste comprises airy malts, light breads, citric tinged straw, melon, tangerine. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with mellow hop bitterness. Not the most vibrant offering I've had from Salopian but a more than serviceable gold.
